Cornelius Gcetulicas, a distinguished-Ws-orr cal and poetical writer, Roman Consul the,time of Jesus Christ, thus describes the personal appearance of the founder of our reli gion : “A tall well proportioned man, straight in statue. and nearly six feet in height; his hair was the color of new wine from the roots to the eats, and from thence to the shoulders it curled. and fell to the lowest part of them : upon - the crown of his head it parted in two after the manner of the Nazarenes ; his forehead, was flat and fair; his eyes were grey, large, and extremely—lively ; his nose and mouth were well proportioned : his face was neither round nor sharp, resembled his . mother's, and was adorned with a graceful vermillion : his beard was thick and forked, and of the color of his - hair, which he wore long, the scissors never having been used on his head, nor had the hand of 'any one touched him except that-of hie mother when he was a child : his neck was not stiff, nor was his carriage proud ; he stooped a little with his head ;.his hands were large and spreading, and his arms were very beau tiful ; there was an air of serenity in his coun tenance which attracted the love and reverence of all beholders ; in his reproofs he was terri ble, but in exhortations amiable and courteous: he was never seen to laugh, but often observed to weep ; gravity. prudence, meekness and clemency, were strongly depicted iu his coun tenance." Stock in Heaven. A few years ago a poor emigrant fell from a steamboat on the Ohio river, and was drown ed, leaving his wife and onexir two small chil dren, who were on hoard, in fiestitirte and dis tressing circumstances. On coining into port, the case was spoken of among a number of "river men" on the wharf, when one of theta with characteristic bluntness observed. "Come, boys, let's take a little stock in heaven," at the same time taking from his pocket a couple of dollars as his part of the contribUtion for the benefit of the poor widow. his example was followed by others, and a handsome present was the result of this rough impromptu exhor tation.. Can we not hope that like the alms of Cornelius this act came up as "a memorial be fore God ?" It is,a - ;glorious truth whether our generous friend of the steamboat understood it or not, that we are privileged to take stock in heaven. `•Lay up yourselves - treasures in heaven," said Christ. 'Tire poor widow who threw in two mites became a large stockholder, H . and her certificate is recorded there and here. Come, let us take stock in heaven. Sectarian Warfare. Grattan, the Irish orator, truthfully portrays the sin and folly of religious bickerings, in the following eloquent sentences “No religion can stand if men, without re gard to their God, and with regard only tp controversy. shall rake out of the rubbish a antiquity the obsolete and quaint follies of the seeprians, and affront the majesty of the _Al mighty with the impudent catalogue of their devices ; and it is a strong argument against the proscriptive system that it helps to con• time this shocking contest. Theologian against theologian, polemic against, polemic, until the two madmen defame their common parent, and expose their common religion."

There was. a day when Talleyrand arrived in llavre, hot foot from Paris. It was the darkeSt hour of the French revolution. Pur sued by the blood hounds of the Reign of Ter ror, stripped of every Wreck of property and power, 'l'alleyrand secured a passage to Amer ca in a_ship about to sail; lie was'a beggar and a wanderer to a strange land•to earn his 'bread by daily labor. "Is there an American staying at your house ?" he asked the landlord* of the hotel: "I am bound to cross the water, and would like a letter to a person of influence in the new world." BY RL.QrLST The landlord hesitated a raiment, then re plied : ..There is a gentleman up stairs, either froth America or Britain, but whether an American or Englishman, I cannot tell." lie pointed the way. and. Talleyrand, who in his life was Bishop. Prince and Prime Alin isicr. ascended. A miserable suppliant he ••i d before the stranger's door, knocked and enler•ed. In the far corner of a . dimly lighted room. sat a man. of some fifty years, his arms folded and his head bowed on his breast. Front a window directly opposite. a flood of light pour ed over" his forehead. His oyes looked from beneath his downcast brows and gazed-upon Talleyrand's.face with a peculiar and search ing expression. His Nee was striking in out line ; the mouth and chin indicative of an iron will. Ilis form, vigorous, even with the snow of fifty winters, was clad in a dark but rich and distinguished costume. Talleyrand advanced---stated that he was 'a fugitive—and under the impression that the gentleman before hint was an ~A.tnerican, Iw solicited his kind and feeling offices : "I ain ..a — wanderer-1m —I - Atn - forced to fly to the New World, without a friend' or home. You are an - Anierichn ! (live me then, I beseech yon, a letter of yours,so that i may be able to earn my bread.

You will give me a letter to one of your friends. A gentleman like idu has doubt less many friends." The strange gentleman rase. With a look that Talleyrand neVer forgot, be retreated towards Ole door of tae next chamber, his eyes looking still from beneath his darkened brow. Ile spake as he retreated backward ; his voice was full of meaning : • "I am the only man born in the New World whci can raise his hand to God and say—l ha ve not a friend—not one in all America." - -- Talleyrand never forgot the overwhelming sadness of the look which accompanied these words. -Who are you ?" he cried, as the strange nan retreated towards the next room, "your mule ?" My name"—but he replied with a sn►ile that had more mockery than joy in. its con vulAive expression—"my name is Benedict Arnold." He was gone. Talteyrand sank into a dials gasping the words— •• Arnold, the traitor 1" Thus you see he wandered over the earth another Cain, with a murderer's mark upon his brow. Even in that steueed room at that inn in Havre, his crimes found him out, and forced him to tell his name—the name the synonyme of infamy. The last twenty years of his life are covered with a cloud from whose darkness but a ferk gleams of light flashed out upon, the page of history. . The manner of his death is not exactly known. But we cannot doubt that he died utterly friendless—that remorse pursued him to the grave, whispering John Andre ! iri his ear, and the memory of his course of glory gnawed like a canker at his heart. murmuring torever :--••'Prue to your country, what might ypu have been, 0 Arnold, the Traitor !" ' - Some years ago; Lorenzo Dow—whose ec centricities arc .a matter of history—in the course of preaching in.a Southern city, attacked, with severity, the character of a person who had just before died. allegit , that his death was caused his vices. The relations of the deceased man were indignant, and, commenc ing a suit against the eccentric Lorenzo, he was convicted and mulcted in considerable damages. The following Sunday •after the trial, he ;Lorenzo) commenced his sermon as follows:—"There was, we learn from the Tes tament, a certain rich man who lived, I think, at Jerusalem, and his . name was Dives, lie was clad in robes of purple and fine linen, and he fared sumptuously every day. That is, he lived high—or what might be called dissipated. —Now there was also. I think, in Jerusalem, a certain beggar named Lazarus, who asked to be fed only with the crumbs that fell (nom Dives' table. Ile lay down at the gate of the palace, but. the rich man would not feed him, on the coutrary he set dOgs - on him..- So the poor beggar died, and then his sorrows ended ! for he was carried right up into Abraham's bosom.

One part of it is too good to lose : must tell you of an affair of Emma Han's, that happened last Saturday., young man who had been paying some attention to her had agreed to come and pass off for her cousin, and take her out carriage riding, ender the pretence that. he *as taking -her to his father's, a few miles out in the country. But his. father does not live within -a hundred miles of this. •«'ell. he came according to appointment, introduced himself as Emma's cousin, ttnd _asked to take her home to spend tho afternoon. Miss Waldron said she had „not the slightest objection, asked how far it. was, and in what direction, and told Emma. to get ready to go. But when Emma was dressed awl ready to start, Miss Waldron also came down ready dressed, and said that as their carriage was large enough for three, she would go arong with them part of the way, and stop at a friend's, who lived a short distance from the uncle that Emma was going to see, and they might stop for her when they came back in the evening.—Ofeourse they could do bo better than'tell her they, woula be glad to have her go with them, although they would have a dull time with her along. But—th.cy:.thought they could make up for it by having a nice sociable ride alter Miss Waldron 'stopped at her friend's. ..So off they started in tine spirits, and when they got three or four miles, they began to ex pect that every house thy came to would be the one that Miss Waldron would stop at. But she didn't stop at any. Finally, when they had gone some five or six miles, Miss -Waldron said - te—must_. ha v e_passedike house by mistake, for they had certainly travelled twice as far as it was flout town. I3ut, since they had passed it, she would not trouble them to turn back with her. but would go on with Emma to her uncle's and stopjust a minute at her friend's as they came back. There was what you might calla tis. and Em. and her beau could do nothing but drive on. So on they drove, but driving on didn't drive their trouble away. At last. when they had gone. eight or ten miles. he said that the road must have been changed .in some way. for he had undoubtedly gone astray, and as they bad gone so far, and it was drawing late, they would not have time to find the right way. So they came back to town, and when Miss Waldron got out of the cart iage, she told Ern.'s .beau that when he ascertained how the road had been changed, she would he very happy to go along with Emma arty Saturday to spend.an afternoon at - her - uncle's. Since that we. have seen nothing of Ein's cousin, and it rill be a long time before she hears the last of her visit to her uncle." fri - Mecting a 'Yankee sea captain a short, time since, who had just returned from Eu rope, we casually enquired of him if he was in .London at the time of the Imperial visit of Na poleon and Eugenie. Ills description was pe culiarly characteristic of his class.--“Oh yes." said he bluffly, "of course I was; saw 'cm both.leon's a fine looking man, spite of all they say. rather a downcast look and heavy eye like a dying porpoise'; but Eugenie is a teal beauty, Sir, tip-top—looks like an Em press, handsome as a pictur, and sails along like a clipper ship.
